PRAISE HIM, PRAISE HIM Praise Him! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! Sing, O earth, His wonderful love proclaim! Hail Him! hail Him! highest archangels in glory; Strength and honor give to His holy name! Like a shepherd Jesus will guard His children, In His arms He carries them all day long

Praise Him! praise Him! tell of His excellent great-ness; Praise Him! praise Him! ever in joyful song!

Praise Him! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! For our sins He suffered, and bled and died; He, our Rock, our hope of eternal salvation, Hail Him! hail Him! Jesus the Crucified! Sound His praises! Jesus who bore our sorrows; Love unbounded, wonderful, deep and strong GRACE GREATER THAN OUR SIN Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt! Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured, There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled.

Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace, Freely bestowed on all who believe! You that are longing to see His face, Will you this moment His grace receive?

MISSIONS

Kharkov, Ukraine (HAR-kov) - After a hiatus over the summer months, distribution of food parcels and clothing for many of those who continue to be displaced by the war has once again started at Living Hope Church in Kharkov. While in the past multiple aide organizations and ministries from Europe, Ukraine, and other parts of the world provided much of the financial assistance necessary to help those in need, those resources are not available at this time. Praise the Father for the help provided by Baptist Global Response to continue this outreach over the winter months! Ask the Lord to open new channels of financial help that will enable Living Hope Church not only to continue provid-ing food for the hungry, but also the hope that can be found only in Jesus. Pray that many of those who receive this assistance will seek to know more about the One who is our hope through the weekly Bible study for the dis-placed and through the worship services at churches throughout the city.
